#systemic illness

A variety of systemic illnesses including acute and chronic infections, neoplastic diseases, connective tissue disorders, and storage diseases are associated with hematological manifestations.

Over the course of a year, the researchers wanted to see how common systemic and ocular co-morbidities were among cataract surgery patients at our college and research institute. The descriptive analysis of medical records of 448 cataract patients who received cataract surgery in our college and research institute between July 2015 and June 2016 by a single surgeon was used to conduct the cross-sectional study (GK). The findings of this study show a significant prevalence of Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) and ocular co-morbidities among cataract surgery patients in our region. This would be beneficial in terms of resource planning and allocation for effective cataract patient treatment. A thorough preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up may help cataract patients achieve better results and a higher quality of life.
